Quilt-A-Long


As if I didn't have enough going on already, I've decided I'm going to add my name to the list of participants in Melissa's Irish Chain Twist Quilt-A-Long.  Since 2014 was my first year of quilting, I learned everything by watching videos and trial-&-error.  2015 is my year to join in and get out!  I'm joining my local guild, I'm going to QuiltCon in February and I'm going to join quilt-a-longs!  I'm determined to push myself and learn as much as I can:)

I'm going to do a Lap size (60"x70") in a Scrappy design.  I think my version will be made using greys, yellows and white.  I can already imagine snuggling with Hubby under the quilt while we watch some HGTV!

 
Here's her layout.  Won't it be a beautiful quilt?  
There's still time to join in if you're interested.  Jump over to Happy Quilting and get all of the details!

  1. I'm still debating about this one. I've been wanting to do an Irish Chain Quilt for a while but the fabric requirements for this one are a bit daunting to the budget at the moment. But I've still got time to see if I have something in stash that could be used. Good luck with yours!

    1. Sue, I'm scared of the applique on this pattern. I've never attempted that, but a new year brings new things to learn, right? My daughter actually saw the layout and claimed the quilt. She changed my color selection from gray & yellow to gray and pink. Gotta love her!
